NOZZLE AND FAUCET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 320,881, dated June 23, 1885.

Application filed MaI-rh 2l, 1885. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern.'

Beit known that I, RrvERIUs MARSH, a cil zen of the United States, residing at New Brunswick, in the county of Middlesex and State of New Jersey, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Nozzles, Valves, and Faucets for Gans and other Purposes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the san-1e, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in nozzles, valves, and faucets to be applied to cans, bottles, or other vessels.

The object of my invention is to provide a cheap, durable, and convenient device for filling lamps and pouring oil or other liquids from vessels, by means of which such vessels may be filled or their contents discharged with greater facility than heretofore, and certain difficulties and objections obviated and overcome, as fully set forth and described hereinafter.

Figure I is a vertical section of my invention, showing the interior construction and arrangement of the valves and nozzle and their combination with a jar, can, or other vessel. Figs. 2 and 3 are vertical sections of modifications of the same.

Referring to Fig. l, A and A are sections of a nozzle or spout made of one or more pieces of metal, preferably of two, and combined the same as a tin box, one section capping over the other, and soldered together, as shown at a. The upper section, A, may be used as a nozzleindependently of the lower section by attaching a curved portion of a spout to the nozzle A, as shown at a2, Fig. 2, and the nozzle or spout can be applied directly to a vessel, can, or screw-cap. The nozzle or spout may be made with or without a bottom piece, and soldered to the cap, can, or top, and when thus used I prefer to place the valve-connections below the surface of the vessel or within the screw-cap; but when I make my spout or nozzle of sectional parts, as shown in Fig. 1, I prefer to use the valve-connections partly within the spout or nozzle.

C is a screw made of any suitable metal and having a head, D', 0n the lower end, and

a thumb-piece, C', on the upper end, as shown at C', Figs. l, 2, and 3.

E is a cork or other packing, which closely fits the 4screw C and rests upon the head D', as shown in Figs. l and 3.

F is a valve shell or rest, which is placed over the packing E. This shell or rest may be made of any shape or thickness required 6o and with or without a screw-thread through the center. lThe packing E prevents leakage around the screw C when the valve is closed.

D is a threaded nut or washer fitting the screw C and attached to the top of the nozzleshell A. The threaded nut or washer D can be placed on the top of the nozzle or spout, as shown in Fig. 3. N is a vent-opening in the top of the nozzle. 7o

El is a cork washer or packing fitting over screw G, to prevent the sudden rush of fluid through the vent-opening N, and it also pre-- vents the fluid from following the thread through the nut D and opening in the top of the nozzle A. p

E3 is a valve-opening through the screw-cap B or top of the jar, can, or vessel.

K is a rod or pin connected with a spiral or other spring, and passes down through the 8c screw-cap B and packing E, and is attached to the valve shell or rest F. Une or more rods and springs can be used. They serve a twofold purpose. They prevent the shell F from revolving, and also hold it in position.

F is a cork or other packing, which fits the screw C closely and rests on the top of the shell or rest F, serving a threefold purpose. It holds the shell or rest F in position independent of the rod and spring K. It provides a 9o valuable and durable packing in connection with E, and it also prevents the Huid from escaping around the screw C, and can be used independent of either of the packings E or E. Vhen the packing F is used independently or 9 5 in connection with packing E, the rod and spring K can be dispensed with, as the friction of the outer circle of packing F is sufficient when the valve is being closed to cause a vertical motion thereof, while the packing roo E and valve shell or rest F are in contact with packing F. The polished head D revolves underneath the same, as shown in Figs. l and 3. I also obtain avertical motion of the shell F and packing F when closing the valve-opening E3 by removing E', in which case there is a greater liability of leakage.

B is a metal top or cap for a jar or other Vessel, and having an outer screw, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, this cap or top fitting a corresponding thread or screw on a jar or other vessel, as shown at B.

Between the top of the jar or vessel and cap `B is a cork or pack-ing, E, fitting the whole diameter of the cap inside, and with a hole cut out of the center to match a corresponding hole through the top of the cap B, thus forming the valve-opening E, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. The packing E prevents leakage around the cap,and also forms a valve-seat within the cap B.

In Fig. 2, A shows the upper section of a spout or nozzle, as described in Fig. l, having combined with it a curved section of a" spout or nozzle, as shown at a2, and a metal cap or top, B, having an outer screw, and applied to a can, jar, or other vessel having a corresponding s crew, B, and cork or other packing between them, and having an opening through the cap B communicating with the vessel or nozzle,in accordance with my improvements. It also shows the combination of the revolving screw C, having ahead or valve regulator, D', and a threaded nut or washer, D, Inade to lit the screw C, the rod and spring K, the rod being connected or attached to the nut D. TheA spring presses down and holds the screw C in position, and also prevents nut D from revolving, thus giving nut D a vertical motion when screw C is turned either to the right or left by means of the thumb-screw C.

Fig. 2 also shows the packing E, valve shell or rest F, and packing E. The packing E fits closely around the rod K, and prevents the iiuid passing around the rod, and it also guides the rod as it rises and sinks with the nut D. In Fig. l t-he nut D is made stationary, causing the valve to open or close when screw G revolves with a vertical motion, while in Fig. 2 the screw revolves, but otherwise retains its normal position, and the nut, D rises and sinks with its valve-connections and packing in a vertical direction, while D serves as a stop and determines the extent of the valveopening` E. The valve shell or rest F may be entirely removed, and the packing E may be enlarged, and not only prevent the escape of iluid around the screw C, but provide a packing to be used in connection with packing E; or packing E may be used independent of packing E. It will be observed that the packing E has a vertical motion the same as nut D, and acts in unison therewith.

Fig. 3 shows a nozzle or spout and valveconnections as applied to the top of a can or other Vessel or to a piece of metal suitable for a vessel. A shows a nozzle or spout, which may be made of one or more pieces of metal. B2 represents a can-top with valve-opening E through 1t. Gis a central screw having thumbpiece G on the upper end and head D on lower end. D is a nut attached to the upper side of the nozzle A, through which the screw C works. N is a vent-opening. E2 is a cork washer or packing. E is a packing or washer resting on head D. F is a shell or screw-washer on which rests a packing or washer, F. This packing fits the screw C, and holds F and E in position, and revolves with the screw C until F is brought in contact with the valve-open ing in B2 in closing the valve. When thus in contact, by the friction caused by the outer edge of the packing F. with valve seat in B2 the rotary movement is retarded and stopped and a vertical movement of the packing F and shell F is produced, thus insuring greater durability and security, causing the friction to operate on the packing E', which is used especially for that purpose.

The thread on the screw-rod C extends the length of the rod or only to the packing E', thus allowing the packing to turn on the screw-rod G.

G represents a section of the jars, cans, and other vessels, as shown in Figs. l, 2, and 3.

Having fully described my invention, what I desire to claim and secure by Letters Patent is- 1. In a nozzle and faucet for filling lamps and for other purposes, the sections A and A,

constructed andarranged as described, in combination with a can-top, `jar-cap, or other vessel having a communication between the said vessels and the nozzle, substantially as described.

In a nozzle and faucet for lling lamps and for other purposes, the sectional nozzle with its vent N and nut D and valve-opening E3, in combination with the screw C, having a thumb-piece, C', and head D', and cork or packing E, valve shell or rest F, cork or packing F, and cork washer or packing E2, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a nozzle, valve, andlfaucet for filling lamps and for other purposes, the sectional nozzle and screw C, with their packings, shell, and nut, in combination with a jar or can or other vessel having a screw, B, at the top, and a cap or top with a corresponding screw, B, iitting the same, and a packing or cork, E, substantially as shown and described. y

4. In a nozzle, valve, and faucet, the spring and rod K, in combination with the shell or rest F, substantially as described.

5. In anozzle, valve, and faucet, the combination of the following parts: the sectional spout composed of sections A and A', having a vent, N, the screw C, having thumb-piece C and head D, packing E', shell F, rod and spring K, and packing F, packing E2, valveopening E, and nut D, all constructed and arranged substantially as shown and described.
